HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!!

[MaZtoR]

I would normally not pick a C std song for intermediate.  But I felt a bit sadistic this week.  So tough it out.

[MaZtoR]

Scores from testing

 

[Milo]

The song is missing those nice little licks at the end which are being played everytime the D5 is played. :( I think I missed 2-3 notes at the solo part.

Oops. First try (after playing lead first).

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week290/rhythm/i01.png

 

The lead is perhaps 0.5 harder than the rhythm. Would say 4.5 for the rhythm and 5 for the lead.

Again I got the worst score where I need my points but hey, that tuning and The Hidden Masters' tone design sounds great on my cheap bass!!!

[Milo]

And some Maiden :)

The solo needs some love. Other than that, pretty straight forward. Not really sure about the strumming pattern during the other two solos.

Got to play them all :wub:

Now to work with that INXS thing!

[ZeroPingNZ]

Started with bass. Tough week!

 

 

 

What's the best way to play these octaves? I can hardly keep up, this is definitely not 4!

 

Really like the tone here. This song is more like 5

 

And hate the tone here, can hardly hear myself playing

 

This would have been a good pick for Masterclass, 7 or may be 8

 

 

God of Bass, perhaps? The timing here doesn't make sense most of the time and it's just random notes to me sometimes. Can't imagine memorizing something like this, let alone playing for hours on concerts

[ZeroPingNZ]

First try. Don't really like this song (but their later work is good!) so I probably won't play it again

 

 

My song got selected, yay! Too bad I still suck at arpeggios but at least it will give me motivation to improve

 

 

Easy, should have done SA

 

[Rodman]

1st try Maiden

 

 

[Rodman]

better, your turn, @@meelo ;)

 

 

[Milo]

better, your turn, @@meelo ;)

Oh! It's on baby!

[Rodman]

bass, 1st - all but one?

 

 

[Rodman]

rhy mc

 

 

[Rodman]

lead mc

 

 

i loved the in flames boys back then

[Rodman]

perfect int song to check if you are ready to level-up!

 

 

[Rodman]

lead

 

 

[Rodman]

this song is not my friend.

 

 

[MaZtoR]

Tiny improvement after several tries.   I have trouble with the open power chords.  Might need to play it on my crappy guitar with thicker strings.

 

 

Bit of improvement here before i change tunings.

Oooh, this one is cool! Really nice tone.

SA didn't go quite as well. Need to slow down that intro, which gave me an X.

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week290/lead/m02.png

 

Also had problems with the intro and a bit harder to sight read the chord changes. Technical difficulty is probably closer to a 7 than an 8, but the speed excuses the 8.

[diceslinger]

I'm liking the bass songs this week, they just feel natural.

 

 

 

Yeah, liking this one, never heard it before but fun to play.

 

I smelled 100% on this one, so kept trying until I got it.
